    Big Black Bird Down

    I have a number of dairy farm permissions that I shoot pigeons and starlings at (mostly). I get some woodchucks at them too in the warmer weather. I generally leave crows alone as they tend to act as my "cleanup crew". ( they pick apart / carry off / eat the dead pigeons ) One of the...

    JSB Knockout 22 cal 25.4 gr VELOCITY

    Oh ... old thread. Readers digest - when I was running slugs with that one on a modified 700mm "slug barrel" ( I had it cut down to 600 and re-crowned and then I polished it myself ) it would up being a 44'ish fpe with 23g H&N .217's running around 935. Stupid accurate - shot count though -...

    N/A Whats your most consistently accurate airgun?

    This is an interesting one. I have two guns now that ~really~ like the 23g H&N's - one of them being my Taipan Long. I'm also a big fan of the RTI's (I have three of 'em - one in .177, .22, and ,25) All are older P1 performance's and the .22 / .25 both have the newer RPB barrels in them...

    Taipan Veteran Long LW barrel - trying to find appropriate slugs

    Mine loves those H&N 23's.

    Taipan Veteran Long LW barrel - trying to find appropriate slugs

    This is a .22 and your only getting 25 shots? Something ain't right. I get near 40 out of mine ( from full 250 bar fill ) and that's with the H&N 23g slugs @935. I do have a huma in mine too - forgot about that until you mentioned it. It's been quite a while ... thinking it's probably at...

    Taipan Veteran Long LW barrel - trying to find appropriate slugs

    Long story short - I bought a .22 vet long 4 or 5 years ago. They ( Taipan ) then came out with their 700mm "slug barrel" - of course I had to have one. It was extremely frustratingly hit & miss and I wound up shelving it and just going back to the OEM 550mm barrel and pellets. . . . . a...

    Zans - wash and lube or not?

    ... forgot about this thread. My anal tendencies got the better of me and I washed 'em. (( ... 'cause you know .... I don't want to hit a woodchuck with dirty ammo .... it could get an infection ... )) :cool:

    N/A Who shot their .177 today ?

    I shoot my little .177 slugger quite a bit - have been shooting it all week actually - it's one of my "go to" pesting guns for some of my dairy permissions. It's even been known to take out a woodchuck or two ( or four or five . . . or more? lol ) but from no more than 30 - 35 yds tops. ( I...

    RTI Prophet / Priest .177 slug shooters - are there any in here? ;-)

    Update on this. I did buy a box of the 13g zan's - just to try 'em out and give 'em a fair shake. They *do* shoot consistently out of my barrel - poi a little different than the jsb's but consistently hitting the same spot. Ranging ( at my current tune ) is . . . different. (?) POI at...

    Zans - wash and lube or not?

    So I've recently discovered that my .22 RTI P1 (w/newer RPB barrel) kinda likes the 30.5g zans. The barrel only being 600mm - it ain't tossin' them the fastest in the world @935'ish but - they are accurate and (for me anyway) they're giving me a nice "working flat range" for my typical pesting...

    RTI Prophet / Priest .177 slug shooters - are there any in here? ;-)

    So (sitting here at my desk @work -- not, ummmmmm . . . . working . . . lol ) I literally just checked UA as they seem to have most everything these days. Interestingly the 13g ZAN's are *cheaper* price wise than the JSB's. Both 400 count. That alone makes them a contender to try. I just...

    RTI Prophet / Priest .177 slug shooters - are there any in here? ;-)

    Wow ... nice guys. Thanks for the feedback. @JaceSpace1369 - throttling the reg up a bit to around 145-150 bar I'm sending the jsb 13's at 935'ish and they're quite happy. Relatively efficient too ... I've never actually run the bottle all the way down but am for sure getting at least 70...

    RTI Prophet / Priest .177 slug shooters - are there any in here? ;-)

    Cutting to the chase - I have a 20" (510mm) .177 LW barrel in one of my prophets and it really likes jsb 13g ko's. I'm down to my last tin of them. I've heard / seen via youtube (and maybe in here?) that the zan's are supposed to be quite good. The Danish youtube guy (Viking Airgunner) - he...

    Airgun Technologies V3 700 .22 - tune coming along :) NSA 27.5's @985'ish

    I'm still dinking with this one on and off but am pretty happy with both the tune I've presently got on it and my strelok truing as well. I shot it for the first time in a couple of weeks out in my back yard yesterday and first thing I noticed was that I wasn't happy with where I had the scope...

    My .177 RTI Slugger is Back . . . ;)

    Hey there - I honestly don't know what it is (LW or CZ) - it's whatever AOA shipped to me via the package that they sell. ( I would speculate LW . . . . ? ) "Modded" in this case = the gun was setup as a .22 when I bought it from the AGN member. I *did* in fact polish it and give it a...

    New Zulus won’t power on?

    Yeah - I have to hold it down on my old 1st gen sightmark wraith - gotta hold it for 2 or maybe 3 seconds. Same when powering it off.

    My .177 RTI Slugger is Back . . . ;)

    Because I apparently experienced a Pink Floyd'ish "Momentary Lapse of Reason" (lol) and took apart my perfectly good little .177 slugger to have a foray back into .22 land and MRD's . . . it's back - and it's back with a vengeance. :cool: ( @Vetmx - yeah - I built it back up - lol ) It's a...

    RTI P1 Performance, it's 1:32 LR barrel - "light" slugs - anyone had any luck? ( and why do I hate MRD's? )

    Yeah - the slugger discovery was purely accidental too. Readers digest - I bought two barrel kits for it from AOA which are both listed as the older 'Priest' model - one in .22 and the other in .177. ( This was when I still had only one RTI - which was a .25 at the time ) So anyway - I wasn't...
